- Terry Gilliam: [giggling] That's the trailer for the film, right there. "Coming soon"!
- Johnny Depp: [in character, to a fish] You wanna fuck with me? Huh? Fucker! What were you thinking? What were you thinking?
- Investor: For the record, where is the director of this movie?
- Terry Gilliam: I like shooting things. Even if it's completely fucked up and totally useless, at least there's some images. Something to justify several years of work.
- Nicola Pecorini - Director of Photography: Terry, as we all well know, has the tendency of overloading everything. I mean, there is nothing ever simple and plain.
- Terry Gilliam: I don't know what else to do. I mean, all of us have done a lot of stuff, and none of us know the answer right now.
- Benjamin Fernández - Production Designer: I think he's a little bit the Quixote. He's the dreamer, the idealist. The one who sees things that the rest of us humans can't see.
- Nicola Pecorini - Director of Photography: Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. I mean, everything. Everything, everything, everything. I mean, if you write a script and you think of the worst possible situation, you can't make it up.
- Philip A. Patterson - First Assistant Director: Making a film with Terry is like riding a bareback pony. Just grab onto the mane, dig in the heels and the knees, and hang on, 'cause you're in for the ride of your life.
- Tony Grisoni - Co-Writer: The most painful thing was seeing reality win over Don Quixote in the end, 'cause it did.
